Tom walters Early Love.

New London people are fond Of tell
ing about Gov. Tom Waller's early ro-
nance. II seems that when MIR. Wal
Ter was yet struggling as an impecuni-
Gus law clerk. long before he had begun
TO lift mis- head Shove the crowd, he fell
in love with the mayors daughter.
His suit was eniinetly successful, SO fur
as the lady was concerned, but Mayor
Loomis was an august parsonage, who
looked askance at the seedy young laW-
yer and his prospects. The stern pa
rent not only objected to the desired
union, but prevented it.
This set back put the spur to Wal
ler's pride and bis energy, and be for
with determined to be a bigger man
than the mayor of New London or per-
ish in the attempt. He devoted him
self to business, kept weather eye on
politics, and was soon elected mayor.
Mayor Loonais was MEANWHILE credited
with yearning for the governorship,
but he had to stand aside and see it 90
to his would be son-in-law. And BY and
by Mr.. Waller was mentioned for the
vice presidency, made national repu-
tation. and was assigned to an import
ant place in the diplomatic service.
It Is said that Mr. Loomis feels an
eternal regaet for his mistake IN judy
ment.

The Stereotyned Wedding.

The wedding Of the present is rather
stereotyped affair, every detail Of which
is dictated by fashion. To one VIII o
attends two or three score weddings in
a season, the floral decorations, the
bell horseshoe and wish-bone, the same
set Of china on the refreshment table,
etc. grow monotonons. A little de-
parture indicating Independence, or
donating originality. is therefore very
refreshing The novel feature at re-

COMMISSIONERS MEETINGS.

vocate the passage OF q Measure by the

published the proceedings OF their meetings.
These journals very pro perly hold that tn
people should be informed through the
press OF what is being done by the custo-
dams Of their interests; that ~ Taxpayers
they should know how the public moneys
are applied; that annual statements OF the
counties finances are little better than an.
nual bumbugs; that but very few have
either the time or the patience to wade
through the mass Of figures presented to
them at the end OF each year; and that
they are, as a rule, ignorant OF the inan.

The ground is taken that the people

G. H, CLAY IS DEAD.
A Grand Army Of the Republic Maj
Has Heard the ''Taps."

The News-Miner says:
ION Tuesday last, at 4:3O p. NJ, C. H,
! Clay, editor and proprietor Of the Inter
Idaho, died at his home in this city. He
had been ailing for nearly two years.
| About a month ago he became 30 i'll that
he was compelled to cease work and take
to his bed. He continued to fail gradually.
until three days ago, when he appeared
better than he had been for some time, and
his friends began to have some hopes of his
recovery. On Tuesday afternoon he had
An attack OF bleeding at the lungs, and he
passed away suddenly, at the age of 46
years and 6 months.
Mr.. Clay was a native OF the State OF
Maine. He started the first Newspaper, the
News, on Wood River. 1t was afterward
consolidated with the Miner, published by
Frank O. Harding, and the paper became
known as the News-Miner. D. H. Gray
bought Harding's interest, and in July,
1888, Clay & Gray sold out to the present
proprietors. Soon afterward Mr.. Clay
started the 1nter-Idaho. OF which he was
proprietor at the time OF his death.
Mr.. Clay was a genial, kind hearted hus-
band, and always had many warm perso-
nal friends. He leaves an invalid wife, who

To this, from the Times, is added:
The funeral OF c. H. Clay took place to-
day. The religious services were conducted
by Rev. Pratt, and at their close HALEY
Lodge No. l, A. O. U. w. took charge Of
the remains. The procession then formed
in tho following order:

in Butte, especially men who have lived in
Colorado and Nevada. The very evening the
MINER reporter left HALEY to come to Butte |
City to work, Mr.. Clay said to him: 'You

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

A private telegram received from Wash
ington by = gentleman in this city states
that q United States Postofice Inspector
is on bis way to Montana for the purpose
OF perfecting arrangements to give Butte
and Helena q free mail delivery One OF
tho conditions precedent to the establish
ment OF this system is that all business
houses and residences within the city lin
it's must be numbered. In view Of this fact
the City Council will doubtless take such
steps as may be deemed necessary to meet
tho requirements Of the Postofice Depart
ment in this particular. No one will ques-
ton the proposition that the establish
ment Of free mail delivery in Butte will
be hailed with favor by III citizens. The
present location Of the p~ostofice almost
on tho northern boundary Of the city
works q great hardship to a large majority
OF the business men and others OF tho
place, and tho saving OF time to them dur
ing business hours by tho FREQ mail delivery
system will amount to no inconsiderable
item in the course OF their daily transac-
tions. The Inspector will be here in q few
days, when the city authorities will be
more fully informed as to what must be
done to insure the establishment OF the sys.

FROZEN !
Death and Frozen Feet Going to Their
Mines.

Death and Frozen Feet Going to Their
Mines.
Mr.. E. C. Freyschleg told THE MINER last
evening the following story:
Messrs. A. Boetcher and F. N. Freyschleg
! were partners in mines about five miles
from GEORGETOWN. MI. F. NJ. Freyschleg is
| q brother of The MINERS informant. Last
Tuesday the partners intended to start by
railroad for their mines in the Cable dis
trict. Bostcher got off and Freyschleg
missed that train, but followed on the next
days train, expecting to meet his partner
town Boetcher had left. Freyschleg stayed
at Georgetown one night and left
for the mine next day. When he got to
their cabin he found that his partner had
not been there, and at once suspected that
he was lost or frozen, and started of to
hunt him up.
It is not certain how long tht search was,
but when Mr.. Freyschleg found him he
VA UP A TREE,
presumably to take his bearings. He was
barely able to breathe and his partner as
sisted him to the snow-covered ground,
then wrapped blankets about him as
comfortably as possible in five
feet OF snow, and left for Georgetown to Sc
cure assistance. In returning to look after
his partner, Mr.. Freyschleg's feet were
badly frozen. A physician was sent for
from Anaconda, to attend him, and the
exact condition of this sufferer is not yet
known.
Mr.. Boetcher is most probably dead, and
az soon as parties a 60 to and return from
Georgetown, the body will be brought in
and properly cared for. It is not certain
that he is dead, but the surrounding cir
cumstances, all considered, warrant the
presumption that he is. The information
reached Mr.. E. c. Freyschleg, by telephone,
from Anaconda, at 4 p. m, yesterday. The
probably dead man was a former employe
in Fred Gamer 4 Co.'S shoe store, in Butte,
and the firm are naturally anxious about
the decencies of his burial. He was a Ger
man by birth, about "a years old, and his
former employee tell The MINER that he
